The endurance of post-war residential design along the San Diego coastline proves that architectural integrity does not depend on monumental scale. Instead, the homes commanding the spotlight during La Jolla Modernism Week succeed because their creators paid relentless attention to daylight, coastal wind channels, and regional materials.
